Rebecca Hepson, BACP

Rebecca Hepson is a counsellor who focuses on relationships and personal growth. She holds BACP accreditation and brings three years of professional experience to her work. Rebecca speaks English and offers sessions to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

She starts by helping people understand how their earliest experiences shape current patterns. That often means looking at attachment, codependency or commitment worries. Rebecca uses a calm, conversational style so clients can name what feels stuck without jargon.

Her approach is practical and body-aware. She blends client-centred listening with somatic methods to notice how emotions show up in the body. For people who have survived sexual assault, abuse or other trauma, she adds trauma-focused techniques to address painful memories and reactions.

Rebecca works with a broad range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, career doubts and life changes. She also supports people facing post-traumatic stress, narcissistic relationship patterns, fatherhood questions and sexuality issues. She is comfortable discussing LGBT matters and veteran and armed forces issues.

Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Rebecca frames therapy as a collaborative process - she and the client set goals together and try small, practical steps between sessions. The aim is to help people feel more confident, in control and able to make clearer choices.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled to fit both client and therapist availability. Fees vary with location and use a cancellable subscription model.

How Rebecca’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The counsellor offers active listening and reflection so the client can make sense of feelings and decide on goals. This approach helps with self-esteem, relationship choices and life direction.

Somatic Therapy brings attention to bodily sensations that link to emotions. Simple awareness and gentle methods help people notice tension, grounding or nervous system responses that affect daily life. This can be useful for anxiety, social phobia and somatic symptoms.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing distressing memories and their ongoing effects. It aims to reduce intrusive reactions and improve coping after experiences such as sexual assault or other abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods together to see what fits. This collaborative process helps shape sessions so they meet the client's needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and body language, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals provide these formats to make therapy more accessible across locations.
